Happy to announce I've joined @Ark Labs! After falling down a rabbit hole last year, I'm convinced that Ark is the only realistic, shippable concept that can power the next generation of Bitcoin services. You have no idea what's coming 🔥

A new era of bitcoin privacy and payments is coming. Fuck, I'm suddenly so bullish.

Dystopian resistant.

I come bearing gifts. Introducing DotNut - a C# library implementing the Cashu protocol

The best part about this is the naming opportunities honestly. 😂

The state of the Bitcoin community in a bull market is such an embarrassment. Principles, and freedom tech all thrown out so that we can simp for the statists and their corrupt financial instruments, all for a few extra digits. Do better

The @BTCPay Server coinjoin plugin now supports automated, private coin consolidation during low-fee markets.

On July 28th, I submitted my proposal to @HRF for the Serverless Payjoin bounty: Payjoin over Nostr. You can read the protocol addendum here:

a BIP78 Payjoin implemention in C# for both sender and receiver. - Kukks/BTCPayServer.BIP78

The proposal is incredibly simple in nature, just as BIP78 was designed to be, to increase adoption chances. All logic within the Payjoin protocol stays the same, so the version is still 1. It is asynchronous (receiver can process later when back online), encrypted (communication is end-to-end encrypted), and lightweight (no server requirement, leverages existing Nostr network). In addition to this, I also added building blocks for a new experimental addition: Nostr Payjoin Market. If your wallet supports receiving Payjoin, you can share a static payjoin endpoint using the Nostr Coinjoin Discovery protocol (

Build software better, together

GitHub is where people build software. More than 150 million people use GitHub to discover, fork, and contribute to over 420 million projects.

Other wallets, which support Payjoin but want to send money to wallets that don't, can use these static endpoints to enhance their transactions. The goal? Make every transaction to every wallet a coinjoin. See the sample wallet code and additional detailed description:
